HI Jac_horse
Sorry to hear that. But WanBB is right. The scan is most accurate, as long as doctor say baby is growing fine. Generally, medically defined, any forms of bleeding during 1st trimester is a threatened miscarriage, so doctor will normally recommend u to bedrest, stabilise & etc until everything ok. Some pple have hormones insufficiency, thus bleeing. For such cases, can do injections to help. But this you need to check with doctor if you lack the pregnancy hormones.
Yes, I have q bad bleeding at week 11 & Week 13, 2 major episodes. Suddenly when I was bathing, I feel something come out from there and when I touch, oh gosh, its gushes of blood! I almost fainted... and dry myself and call doctor. Dr say as long as I have no cramps, just stay in bed, put legs upwards & rest and see him next morning. I assure you it was REAL bleeding, bright red dripping and soaked my night pad within 20 mins. True enuf, things eases off by abt 4 hours later.
Next morning rush to see him and baby was fine, he also say that the internal bleeding is from the womb. However, as the scan shows that there are no 'blood' around the placenta or near the baby, it is quite ok. He thinks its the edges of the placenta that causes the bleeding. You know sometimes our body will produce some extra things and unnecc, so body will expel out....
I let it be and bleeding stop but I continue to brown spot for next 2 weeks until on week 13, bright red blood came again! This time I just bedrest myself and again see him the next day. NOthing was found & baby fine. Dr told me the more episodes of bleeding you have, it will just be more and more lor, so I just let it be. And it cleared off in the next 2 weeks. And I become totally no bleeding until my cervix gave way and that bleeding is signs of labour bleeding as it has mucus in the blood. During that period, I still had to work and run a bit up and down but po pian lor.
I totally understand how you feel, the fear is just there. But during 1st trimester, there is v little we can do but to hope for the best. Sometimes, embryo just fail to grow the way we want. But I believe resting on bed do help. Sometimes just unstable. Also, cos you had so many injections for IVF, so some injections may cause certain homornal imbalance and thus some bleeding.
SHld just listen to gynae and rest well. IF you have severe stomache cramp, then you need to contact him. Otherwise, it may just stabilise after a couple of days.
Keep us posted and be positive.
